0 the process of losing water through the surface or skin of a body or a plant: --
A rise in temperature may cause the rate of transpiration to increase.
Water is lost through evaporation from the soil or transpiration from the leaves.
1 the process by which water is lost through the surface of a plant --
Predicting effects of vegetation changes on transpiration and evapotranspiration.
Any yield dierentials arise from small dierences in the timing of water use and its partitioning between evaporation and transpiration.
Early reduction of stomatal conductance, leading to extremely low transpiration rates under forest understorey conditions, may allow these seedlings to minimize direct drought damage.
These larvae eventually succumbed only during periods of more prolonged arrested transpiration.
Another bene®cial microclimatic change is the reduction in wind speed which in-uences transpiration rate.
No attempt was made to distinguish between soil evaporation and crop transpiration.
A portable system for measuring the photosynthesis and transpiration of graminaceous leaves.
Transpiration rates would then have been increased without corresponding increases in dry matter production.
